This farmhouse scheme was proposed in 2006, however, it was shelved as JDA was apprehensive that not many people would purchase plots due to the distance. As connectivity to Jamwa Ramgarh has improved after 12 years, the JDA is planning to launch the scheme.

As per the proposal, the scheme will be developed in 4,32,264 square metre land. Other than 25 farmhouses in the scheme, JDA has proposed to develop a swimming pool, convention centre, stadium, yoga and mediation centre in the scheme.

An official said, the JDA will be developing farmhouses in three different sizes. The biggest size would be of 5,000 square metre, while 3,000 square metre will be the smallest size. Maximum number of plots will be of size between 3,000- 4,000 square metre, he said.

A senior official said, “The JDA has proposed to register the farmhouse scheme under the Real EstateRegulatory Authority (RERA) before the extended time given by the state government.”

Sources said that the idea behind the launch of the scheme is to earn revenue from selling plots. There are few zones such as 13, 13(A), 10(A) where major area falls in ecological zones and JDA is planning to allow construction as per the norms.

“At present, the owner can carry out construction only on 20% of 2,500 square metre farm land, provided he owns a minimum of 2,500 square metre of land,” said official sources

Official sources further claimed the urban development and housing (UDH) minister Srichand Kriplani has given approval to the proposal, which would allow construction in ecological zones (G2). As per the proposal, the department would allow to construct marriage gardens and medical institutes etc.

It is proposed that for constructing institutes, the maximum height can be 8 metres, if the land area is 2 hectare and situated on 18-metre road. The same height limit will apply for constructing marriage gardens on 1-hectare land situated on 18-metre road.

Though , JDA is all set to announce the scheme soon, many are apprehensive that it would violate the Rajasthan High Court. Its order, the bench said that if the eco-sensitive zone/ecological zone/green area, specified in the MDP, has been established, no change should be made during the operative period of the plan. Sources claimed , earlier too the scheme was shelved following the court orders.
